After all, being someone who cares about her image, First Madam Han awkwardly pulled out ten yuan and bought ten catties of meat.
Seeing First Madam Han taking out money, Han Laosan had no choice but to do the same.
After Ma Xiangling received twenty yuan, she cut off ten catties of the remaining meat. The rest she sold to trusted neighbors, earning fifty yuan on top of the principal.
The next day, Han Conghui found a bunch of defective items at the supply and marketing cooperative's warehouse: towels, toothbrushes, enamel basins, enamel mugs, and other household items. He took them to Qinghe Village and bought a wild boar from Yuan Chun.
This time, Han Conghui didn't bring the pork home but secretly took it to the black market. He sold the entire wild boar at thirty percent above market price, earning a full hundred yuan.
Having tasted success once, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Conghui went to Qinghe Village again.
